The victory of the form "Maria" began in 1916. The service was named after the wife of the company founder Philipp Rosenthal, who married Mary 35 years younger in 1916. "Maria" stands for porcelain history and table culture. It is one of the most popular and successful Rosenthal porcelain services. For generations it has been porcelain for weddings and other festive occasions: stylish and timeless. This polygonal crockery mould with the characteristic edge relief in the shape of a fruit garland has become the most comprehensive Rosenthal service. More than 80 different items available. Maria has enjoyed great popularity over decades and is one of the most comprehensive and best-selling dishes of all time. With its variety of special and additional parts, "Maria" meets the highest individual requirements for classic contemporary table culture and presents itself as a complete gourmet program. The elegant charm of this shape lies above all in the classic-looking shape and the balance of classic and romantic style elements – such as the delicate pomegranate relief. The classicistic, polygonal basic shape is encased by a delicate, finely curved pomegranate relief, which takes up the design elements of the Biedermeier.
